As the group of
@Ol' Slag,
@lolwut,
@Feline Darkmage, and
@Cynical proceed into the Weald, we notice something off, as Lolwut shows his true form at last, and what truly lies beneath the biting pear.
Many in the Hamlet are here for their own reasons. Some are here for glory, for wealth, or for redemption. But there's one who has encountered that which lies beneath the manor, has survived, escaped, and is now prepared to go back into the depths. A former soldier, sent from the capital garrison ages ago, and who entered the Darkest Dungeon to put the Ancestor to the sword. Where others fell, this lone warrior advanced. In many ways, he could be seen as the alternative to our own
@Burned Man, and the two naturally hit it off immediately.
But when he left the dungeon, he was not the same. Parasitic growth infested his armor and weapon alike. Yet while it scourged his body and mind, Lolwut did not knuckle under, for he knew that those who would fight the creatures of the dungeon would need his aid. The enemy is brutal, without number and without mercy - but he would be worse.
Rip and tear, until it is done.
Shockingly tough, the Slayer is a unique new hero from the dude who brought us the Omen Seeker and Cataphract mods. If you didn't get the references, go back to meme school. But as a hero he's a bizarre one and a lot of fun, using a shotgun and the parasitic growth in his body to assail foes with all manner of carnage. He moves around a
lot, making him similar to
@Computery Guy and
@Ol' Slag. He builds up damage and critical rate, over time, and then...
Can cut loose with the very same particle beam attack used by the most powerful foes of the Darkest Dungeon (specifically the Mammoth Cyst's Bulging Gaze), much as how Computery can use Finale after protracted setup. Such a powerful attack takes its toll, however, and Lolwut must use his most powerful attack sparingly, lest he take much more damage than even his enhanced constitution can mitigate.
When not obliterating everything in melee or with lasers, Lolwut employs his powerful blunderbuss to give enemies the business.
Because of his toughness and synergy, his natural partner in crime is Ol' Slag, who also shuffles and can perform setups and coup de graces to take advantage of Lolwut's openings.
Two idiots at the front shuffling like crazy means a need for healing, and Feline Darkmage delivers since she's one of the few that can do so from every rank but one (the frontmost row).
Meanwhile Slag shows these clowns how it's done. He was fortunate and developed a new trait recently: He can break stealth automatically. By blade or bullet, there is
no escape from Ol' Slag. In fact, this trait's so powerful that you're only allowed one character per roster with it!
We're gradually fleshing out the team as we press on towards dealing with the remaining Veteran and Champion zones.
Tyce today. Nothing really too impressive about this, just that the team kicked his ass.
